Porridge remake

[bluethrunthru]

It’s for viewers who never saw the original. The nostalgia and the great acting of the original will never be bettered.

how can anybody not have seen the original - its been a staple on Gold for yonks and is currently being repeated on Yesterday - will be on the History channel before too long !

City got a mention.

... presumably linked with excessive spending and ruining football?

i shan't be watching, such as it was it could only ever be a pale imitation of a true comedy classic

 

[Brightwell’s left peg]

This makes me sad

There is a total dirth of decent comedy on telly now, watched 10 minutes of this shite and turned it off. These
remakes of classic comedy shows show the lack of creative talent now prevalent, we have no new ideas, so let's
rehash a superb one, they'll love it.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Just leave everything alone, as it was.....Thunderbirds....crap, The Sweeny.....crap, Dangermouse.....crap, didn't they do Steptoe and Son, and now Porridge. Heaven forbid some bright young upstart at the Beeb should mention Fools and Horses.

It's as bad as Still open all hours where they have tried to turn Granville into Arkwright's character. Doesn't work.

They tried this with Minder just NO

Because mainly anyone under 25 don’t watch those channels it’s usually reality tv soaps live sport and gaming.
